For a wedding party, family reunion, or just gathering with friends in “The City That Care Forgot,” the Lanaux Mansion is your perfect New Orleans bed and breakfast in the heart of all the fun.
Our Grand Lanaux package lets you reserve all of our guest suites for just you and your group, including all five of our spacious bedrooms, four private baths, four kitchenettes, two balconies, two courtyards, a comfy reading nook, and more.
Built in 1879, this stately historic home stands at the corner of Esplanade and Chartres, with the French Quarter on one side and the lively music scene of Frenchmen Street on the other.
Beautifully appointed rooms provide A/C, wi-fi, smart HDTVs, and every modern comfort you could want, though we imagine you won’t be spending too much time inside. After all, you’re just steps away from the city’s best entertainment, restaurants, and bars.
The Lanaux Mansion contains three deluxe one-bedroom suites and one massive two-bedroom suite, all with private bathrooms and kitchenettes, making it a truly unique place to stay in the French Quarter.
SUITE #1 – RUTHIE’S BALCONY SUITE
(Sleeps 2):
Second floor + Premiere balcony + Huge bedroom/living area + Sunny kitchenette + Queen pillowtop bed
A special New Orleans gem, Ruthie’s Balcony Suite bears the name of our beloved family matriarch. Vaulted ceilings soar above stylishly decorated rooms with all the amenities, including a spacious sunlit kitchenette, luxurious queen bed, and full-sized bathroom with tub. But it’s the balcony you’ll love most. Overlooking the corner of Esplanade and Chartres, it’s the ideal place to people-watch while enjoying the potpourri of sounds that drift over from the nearby markets, jazz clubs, and bustling Mississippi riverfront.
SUITE #2 – THE LANAUX TWO-BEDROOM SUITE
(Sleeps up to 6):
Second floor + Two huge separate King bedrooms + balcony + kitchenette + private bathroom with separate entrances
Our namesake two-bedroom suite is as beautiful as it is spacious, combining original period architecture with an elegant Parisian theme and all the modern comforts you could want — A/C, wi-fi, smart HDTVs, and more. A private balcony, en-suite bathroom, atrium kitchenette, and king-sized pillow-top beds in separate bedrooms invite you to stay right next door to your friends, yet still enjoy a space of your own. Daybeds in both rooms sleep extra guests if needed. Vaulted 14-foot ceilings soar high above it all, adding to the sense of openness and grandeur.
SUITE #3 – THE WIELAND SUITE
(Sleeps 2):
Deluxe four-room ground-floor suite with extra-large bedroom + Separate kitchenette + Private laundry room + Courtyard access
Featuring an enormous vaulted king bedroom and sitting area; a large separate kitchenette with all you need to heat food and chill drinks; and even a private laundry room, the deluxe Wieland Suite is one of our largest and best. Enter through the main house or from an exclusive gate off Chartres Street to reach this stylishly decorated haven on the mansion’s ground floor. The garden courtyard — your personal oasis for relaxed coffees, conversations, and cocktails — is right outside your door.
SUITE #4 – SOPHIE’S ENCHANTED COTTAGE
(Sleeps 2):
Separate cottage + Private fountain courtyard + Large kitchenette + Lots of natural light + Our most quiet and secluded suite
Set apart from the main house and featuring its own fountain courtyard, Sophie’s Enchanted Cottage offers an extra layer of quiet and seclusion for those who really want to relax after days and nights of New Orleans fun. The former kitchen storehouse has high ceilings and large windows to let in plenty of natural light, a large kitchenette with a breakfast nook, and a gorgeously renovated bathroom. Whitewashed-brick walls and tastefully rustic decor make it as homey as it is handsome.
